How to Get A Reference From Walter Cronkite

If you have a chance, catch the PBS doc City at War - London Calling. Walter Cronkite recalls his time in London, and retraces the impact the correspondents had on American entry into WWII. He also relates this story:

"Ours was shattered by someone crunching through the splintered glass that covered the hall's tile floor. There was a knock on the torn door frame. There stood George [the butler], holding a towel over a bleeding eye. And, so help me, he said: 'Did you ring, sir?'"
